DHS vs Utrecht

Two of our rugby teams, a netball team and two hockey teams travelled to Utrecht, on Wednesday, 6 March. All sporting codes performed well and enjoyed the day. All matches were conducted in a sportsmanlike fashion, and all players displayed dedication and drive. Seeing that this was a pre-season friendly fixture, scores will not be taken into account, but Dundee High is showing much promise for the sporting year ahead. Thank you to all the staff and coaches who attended and thank you to Utrecht for hosting the day.

Athletics

Cricket

Rugby

The first team travelled to Harrismith High to play a friendly pre-season rugby match. The boys played well and their long training hours are certainly reflected on the field. Thank you to Harrismith High for hosting the match.

NKZN Hockey

On Saturday, 9 March, the Northern Natal Hockey trials took place. The following DHS staff members made teams: Ms N. Coetzee was selected for the Ladies' team and Mr K. Kelbrick was chosen for the Men's B team. Mrs N. Nortje is the Ladies' B team Coach and Mr J. Nortje is the new Ladies' B Manager. Congratulations! You have just proved that educators do have lives outside of coaching, marking and teaching! We wish you all of the best in your upcoming season and matches. One of our learners, Werner van Staden, was also chosen for the NKZN Hockey Men's A team; well-done Werner - fortunately you will be playing hockey with your teachers and not against them!
